3. Scott Hartnell, Philadelphia: Two assists and three hits for big winger.

Highlights

1st period: The Stars looked great in the opening minute, as Loui Eriksson left a drop pass for Michael Ryder and took two defenders to the net. Ryder snapped in his team-leading 12th goal. However, Philadelphia came back with a Giroux goal off a Jagr rebound and then a Wayne Simmonds power play goal while tipping a Kimmo Timonen shot.

2nd period: In a game that deteriorated into a shoving match, the Flyers stretched their lead. Three 10-minute misconduct penalties were handed out (to Brenden Morrow, Adam Burish and Tom Sestito), and the Flyers scored again on the power play. This time Giroux rushed down the right wing and found Jagr wide open down the slot. Jagr lifted his 11th goal of the season over Richard Bachman.

3rd period: Both teams settled down and played a quieter game, Dallas had a 12-9 edge in shots on goal and finished with a 31-30 advantage, but the Flyers stretched their lead with an insurance goal from Andrej Meszaros. Giroux caught the Stars in a bad line change, and fed a wide open Meszaros streaking down the slot.
